I asked myself what is the next step and, logically, I know it is winning races.
I just want to see everybody before I left for the year, say bye.
I put more pressure on myself than anyone else ever could, but I probably want this one a little bit more just because it is closer to home. But, because it's getting towards the end of the season and I'm hoping to have a few good races to close out the season, I really want to do well this weekend. I feel like I'm learning more, that I am better prepared for the events as we go along. I really am looking at these next few events as laying the ground work for next season.
From a driver's perspective, technology is critical to what we do on and off the track. Technology provides our pit crews and race strategists with the data they need to make split second decisions that can make the difference between winning and losing a race.
I thought I heard 'green. My earpieces weren't completely clear all day. What I thought was a 'green' wasn't. I don't blame myself. I'm not mad at myself for it. I mean if somebody else is sitting in fourth trying to go for a win, you thought you heard 'green,' you'd probably go, too. I was being proactive. ... I apologize for anything, any kind of repercussions that happened from that.
The news is what happens on the track. That's the real news. That's why I'm here.
I'm really happy for Buddy. I know this has been a tough season for him. He really deserves this.
So you're telling me that Jaques is saying he got beat up by a girl?
I don't know. I never heard of her.
The first person I saw after the accident was Jaques and that wasn't a good thing. I confronted him. I told him how I felt. I was mad at him.
Any kind of track that people come back to time and time again means it's pretty good. I have to imagine it's going to be a lot of fun racing on the road course and the oval at the same time. Just the prestige of this race is enough. I'm looking forward to it.
We weren't super strong this weekend, but we kept getting better and faster.
Yeah, OK. I think they've crashed every race.
To win. I'm not going to fault anyone for asking the question because I'm asking it, too.
